Default FSX B747 Selective Fuel Transfer Utility
I have written this little utility to aid with the fuel transfer problems in the Default FSX B747 model. As you know the fuel feeds from the Port Main tank only and when empty that's it unless one transfers manually from the "Fuel and Payload" configurer or selects "Unlimited Fuel".
On boot up the utility defaults fuel transfer to 'Auto' where feed starts at the Center 2 tank as well as the Port and Stbd Tip tanks. As they empty feed progresses to the Aux tanks then to the Mains and Center tanks. One can feed from an individual tank if they wish to balance the aircraft or whatever just by clicking on the tank. There are indicators to help with this including CofG and Balance.
Also displayed are a number of flight indications.

File Description:
Re-upload. Rockwell Aero Commander 500S
The Rockwell Aero Commander began life in 1948 and evolved through numerous models up to turboprop.
This is the 500S as used by NOAA, and has twin Lycoming piston engines and seats four passengers.
While it has been made for AI purposes it is actually a pleasant aircraft to fly so there is a link to a panel to allow you to gain some flying pleasure from it.
This has been modelled with Gmax v1.2 using a mininum number of polygons (1980 for the main model), and is fully animated - landing gear, ailerons, flaps, elevators and rudder. It has 5 LOD models and a single texture set and is extremely frame rate friendly.
It is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population and to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic program by Markus Brunner .
Three textures and a paintkit are included.

| CYQV Yorkton Municipal Airport Saskatchewan Version 2 |
|
Images related to this file:
File Description:
Yorkton Municipal Airport is situated approximately three kilometers north of the City of Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. The airfield was built in 1940 for the Royal Canadian Air Force, as a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan station. Today, only a few of the wartime buildings remain and only two of the orginal four runways remain in operation. The airport continues, however, as the prinicipal hub of general aviation services for the east-central region of Saskatchewan.
CYQV was constructed using GMAX and represents the airport as it was in the Summer of 2008. It includes custom models of all the buildings at the airport, runway signs, refueling facilites,garages, weather station, fencing and trees, and a rotating beacon. CYQV includes custom ground textures to replicate the decommissioned runways and taxiways.
Version 2 replaces the original lost in the AVSIM hack and includes a number of improvements (see readme).

| B17 Flying Fortress |
|
File Description:
The B17 is arguably the best known heavy bomber from WWII. Followed closely by it's direct successor the B29 SuperFortress it symbolizes the best of WWII's heavy Bombers. The B17 was one of the planes that barely made it into the war. In 1934 the then very small Boeing company had a prototype four engined bomber design called the B-299 but it had not been ordered by the US military. It had suffered several serious setbacks in it's design competition including a crash during a fly-off. Boeing continued work the plane and eventually secured a small service test order and the troubled early history of the bomber began.
The B17 and bombers like it were planes created as "strategic bombers". The essential idea was that a strategic bomber should be able to carry a very large payload for long distances. The military had come to the realization that bombing technology was by nature imprecise even with new advances like the American Norden sight, and what was required was a large number of bombs delivered by large number of planes to assure that a target was destroyed. Although the Germans actually had a decent "smart bomb" and the British built specialty bombs, neither was reliable, so it seemed the best idea was just to blanket the target with bombs.
An American extension to this concept was that of a self-defended bomber. Bombers could be built so tough and with so much defensive armament, it was thought, that they could simply fly to the target, drop bombs, and if necessary fight their way through fighters to get home. There would be security in the large number of bombers in formations, and the defensive capability would allow bombers to fly during the day for better accuracy in drops. It was to this design concept the B17 was built.
Early experiences in the war with B17's and B-24's could only be termed as disastrous. Loss rates of up to 25% showed the concept of unescorted bombers in daytime to be entirely wrong. Escort fighters were a necessity for success. It soon became apparent that with fighter cover the B17 really was an unparalleled strategic bomber. Success for the B17 shot up dramatically, and it's initial design specifications of huge amounts of armor and gunner positions served it well when fighters did make it close in. The Fortress had enough strength to stave off attackers until escorts showed up, and it became legendary for the incredible punishment it could take and still make it home.

File Description:
This folder contains a repaint for the Aerosoft PBY Catalina for FSX. It is shown here as C-FCRR, with Air France colors. Built by Boeing of Canada at Vancouver, it became RCAF Canso 9767 on March 4, 1943, and was allocated to Squadron 162, coded S, at Reykjavik, Iceland. In 1944, piloted by Flying Officers Thomas Charles Cooke and Eric Walter Wiskin, 9767 sank the German U-boat U-342 off the coast of Iceland on April 17. The amphibian was removed from the military service on April 1, 1946. The same year it was sold to Canadian Pacific Airlines, registered CF-CRR and assigned fleet number 233 (later 933), it was operated until 1959, thereafter by Northland Airlines (1960-1968), Midwest Airlines (1969-1970), and Ilford Riverton until 1973. The registration was changed to C-FCRR when Avalon Aviation acquired it as a water bomber in 1977, listed as Tanker number 791.
In 1995 the aircraft was bought by Powell Eorp. Of Parry Sound, Ontario, subsequently it was owned by the Canadian Air Legend. The French pilot Franklin Devaux bought C-FCRR in 1995 and converted it to a flying television studio, it was based at Le Bourget, Paris, France. During 1996 C-FCRR was the star of monthly French television programme Operation Okavango, while in September 1998 it was the eye catcher of the three-week Champs-Elysees (Paris) static air show. The following October the aircraft started an 8,078 mls (13,000 km) trip to Chile via Dakar (Senegal) and Natal (Brazil) to commemorate early Air France South Atlantic mail service, returning to France in June 1999. On January 19, 2002 the aircraft was stored at Orly Airport, Paris, and has not flown since. Its Canadian registration was cancelled on October 7, 2005. At present it seems to be registered as N9767, and in airworthy condition again. Here's a youtube movie on this aircraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6jyzV8Gawc. Repaint by Jan Kees Blom, based on the repaint kit by Aerosoft.
